Many ask how do you plan when you write?
Well that all depends on the day and my mood. I am a participant of WriteChainChallenege so I make myself write at least 1500 wordies a day. I have managed for the last 53 days to do so. Here's my schedule (changes made when kiddos involved)
Monday - Thursday during 9am and 3pm for at least 2 hours. At night I write while cooking and cleaning up after dinner.
Fridays I write from 1pm-2am with a few breaks for food and dishes This is for FriNightWrites on Twitter
Saturdays I write any where from 9am-3am for a minimum of 6 hours. In the mornings I do #TalesAndTea with The Sprint Shack on Twitter.
Sundays it all depends on when my kiddos get home. usually I write around noon for a few hours (like 8).
Remember I have two kids and they interfere a lot with my scheduled writing times. Friday my son came home from school early because of a migraine. No problem he went to his room and slept for a bit, so no stopping is needed. Then I have to figure out which laptop I am gonna use, my daughter's or son's. If neither then I HAVE to use my desktop. Using my desktop isn't as inspiring as writing in the kitchen for some reason.
Most of the time I do word sprints for 30 minutes with friends and fellow writers on Twitter. They keep my grove going and when my writing groups aren't running sprints I do. Example, I ran six 30 minute sprints today and had several join in. I always use the hashtag #getwordies because that's our goal, to get words written.
Yeah I am on Twitter most of the day doing sprints. Like I said before, they keep me writing and during the breaks I get dishes, laundry and other things done in the kitchen. I even cook while sprinting now. Though finding TweetDeck was the best thing in the world since Scrivener.
No matter what wordies are written everyday. I wrote only 2540 words today but I created several supporting characters for this 'Dalara' and they may end up with one of their own in the future. Already planning on one for sure.
So, my writer friends and followers, if you need motivation to keep you on track find me on Twitter @jesdeh2o or search #getwordies to see if I'm running sprints! Or you can always ask if I can. I am more than willing to help out my fellow writers.
Here you will find writings, tips, my bipolar & anxiety issues and much more.

I am Back!
Finally feeling better. Enough to start posting again.
NEWS:
This year I am participating in NaNoWriMo; in November I will attempt to write 50,000 words of a new novel. It should be interesting to do. I am hoping I succeed. I am now actively on Twitter @jesdeh2o. I participate in word sprints with several other writers on Twitter. If you want to push yourself with your writing come join the sprints @FriNightWrites, #WriteChain and several other. Look for hashtag #wordsprint, #writeclub #writingsprints .
I am now finally editing 'Inevitable Destinyz' and working on a series(not sure what it's called though). For those who haven't seen snippets of 'Inevitable Destinyz' it is a YA paranormal romance about witches and vampire come together and save their races. New novels are about lycans. Typical paranormal romance with adult content.
Most posts here will be about NaNoWriMo until December. Maybe peeks into my work as well. We will see.
